How To Improve Overhead Flexibility via Fitness Rising

Happy Tuesday! I bet you are all surprised to be receiving this post, huh?! ? Well, I have a little something different that I wanted to share with you and I just couldn’t wait!

Last week I was approached by the owner of Fitness Rising, Jack Antonowicz, to shoot some pictures for an Overhead Flexibility Workout. Of course, I was really excited because Fitness Rising is an amazing and very highly respected website that is based out of Rhode Island. I am always happy when I get to coordinate with local businesses!

I will be honest though, I was a bit nervous because a) I have never been photographed working out before (other than my awesome selfies ? and b) my shoulders were so tight that I knew I was in for it! But I must admit, once we had completed all the exercises, my shoulders/neck/traps/upper back felt awesome!

But while our main goal is usually to be lifting more or running longer, we also want to make sure that we spend time on flexibility so that we can achieve those goals. Flexibility will help to improve your range of motion, so that you are able to lift your heaviest with proper form and without injury!!!
